六味丸 十全大补汤（俱见补益） 八味丸（亦见补益）
Fever is not a single condition. Fever can occur in various miscellaneous diseases. Physicians should treat according to the methods specified for each category of disease. Since diseases differ in deficiency (Xu), excess (Shi), cold (Han), and heat (Re), how can they all be treated with one uniform method?
First, regarding fever from Cold Damage (Shanghan): This occurs when cold pathogenic factors invade the Wei level (the defensive Qi that protects the exterior) and contend with Yang Qi, resulting in external heat. Yang Qi governs the exterior; when constrained by cold, it loses its function, thus generating heat. The pulse is tight and forceful, indicating that external cold has injured the Wei Qi. Treatment focuses on the exterior; Jiwei Qianghuo Tang (Nine-Ingredient Notopterygia Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Shanghan section)
Second, regarding fever from Summerheat Injury: This occurs when fire pathogenic factors injure the Heart, causing dispersion of Yuan Qi (Original Qi), while heat pathogens enter and lodge internally, resulting in fever. Symptoms include profuse sweating and lethargy due to lack of Qi. The pulse is deficient, slow, and weak, indicating that external heat has injured the Ying level (Nutritive Blood). Treatment focuses on the interior; Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Zhongshu section)
Third, regarding fever from Internal Injury: This occurs when Yang Qi is self-injured and fails to ascend and diffuse, instead descending into the Yin levels, forming internal injury, which belongs to Yin Deficiency. Thus, the pulse is large but weak. The pathology involves the Lung and Spleen. Buchong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Boost Qi Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Neishang section)
Fourth, regarding fever from Yin Deficiency: This occurs when Yin Blood is self-injured and fails to control Fire, causing Yang Qi to ascend and generate internal heat, representing Yang Hyperactivity. Thus, the pulse is rapid but weak. The pathology involves the Heart and Kidney. The Classics state: A large but weak pulse indicates Yang Deficiency; a rapid but weak pulse indicates Yin Deficiency. Qingli Zikan Tang (Clear Li [Heart] and Nourish Kan [Kidney] Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Laozhai section)
Fifth, following severe illness: Both Qi and Blood are deficient, leading to chronic weakness (Laoqie). Symptoms include tidal fever (fever at specific times) or alternating chills and fever, night sweats (Dao Han), spontaneous sweating (Zihan), or anhidrosis with dry heat. Lay practitioners often use Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) and Digupi (Lycii Cortex), which are often ineffective and may worsen the condition.
Sixth, for men with Blood Deficiency presenting with sweating and tidal fever: Renshen Yangrong Tang (Ginseng and Nutritive-Qi Tonifying Decoction) is used. (Formula see later)
Seventh, for men with Qi Deficiency presenting with sweating and tidal fever: Buchong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Boost Qi Decoction) is used. (Formula see Neishang section)
Eighth, for Blood Deficiency presenting with anhidrosis and tidal fever: Fuling Buxin Tang (Poria and Heart-Nourishing Decoction) is used. (Formula see Funren Xulao section)
Ninth, for Qi Deficiency presenting with anhidrosis and tidal fever: Renshen Qingji San (Ginseng and Muscle-Clearing Powder) is used. (Formula see later)
Tenth, for women with Blood Deficiency presenting with sweating and tidal fever: Fuling Buxin Tang (Poria and Heart-Nourishing Decoction) is used.
Eleventh, for Qi and Blood Dual Deficiency presenting with anhidrosis and tidal fever: Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) is used. (Formula see Funren Xulao section)
Twelfth, for fever accompanied by cough and hemoptysis: Renshen Wuweizi San (Ginseng and Schisandra Powder) is used. For bone-steaming fever (Guzheng), Wuzheng Tang (Five Steaming Decoction) or Qinggu San (Bone-Clearing Powder) are used. All these are supreme remedies for treating febrile diseases arising from deficiency (Laore). (Formulas see later)
Thirteenth, for men and women with fever in the limbs and skin surface, feeling as if scorched by fire: This condition often arises from Blood Deficiency. Alternatively, it may result from Stomach Qi Deficiency where consumption of cold foods suppresses Yang Qi within the Spleen Earth, causing Fire to flare upward. Shengyang Sanhuo Tang (Raise Yang and Disperse Fire Decoction) is appropriate.
Prescription: Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (each 5 fen); Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (8 fen); Sheng Gancao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 3 fen).
Decoct one dose with fresh ginger. Avoid cold and raw foods.
Fourteenth, for those who are quiet at night but have fever during the day: The heat resides in the Qi level. Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Shanghan section). Add Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Digupi (Lycii Cortex) to this formula.
Fifteenth, for those who are quiet during the day but have fever at night: The heat resides in the Blood level. Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) is appropriate. (Formula see Buyi section). Add Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) to this formula.
Sixteenth, for those with fever both day and night: The heat resides between the Qi and Blood levels. Combine Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) (Formula see Buyi section) with Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) (Formula see Shanghan section). Add five flavors (Wuweizi, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) and add Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Shanzhiren (Gardeniae Fructus). One dose brings relief.
Seventeenth, for tidal fever occurring at Zi and Wu hours (midnight and noon):
Jiajian Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder)
Prescription: Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (2 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Fuling (Poria) (3 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (8 fen), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (8 fen), Huhuanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma / Coptis chinensis var. microphylla) (6 fen), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix) (2 qian), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (2 qian), Digupi (Lycii Cortex) (3 qian), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) (3 qian), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis) (2 qian), Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen) (3 qian), Dengcao (Junci Medulla) (10 strands).
Decoct with water.
Eighteenth, for all cases of fever with aversion to cold that are not due to miscellaneous diseases: The pathogen is in the Half-Exterior and Half-Interior. Chailing Tang (Chaihu and Wuling Decoction), which combines Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) (Formula see Shanghan section) and Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Powder) (Formula see Zhongshu section), is appropriate.
Nineteenth, for chronic exhaustion and deficiency: Limbs are fatigued, muscles are emaciated, complexion is sallow and dull, breath is short and hurried, and there is no taste for food.
Renshen Yangrong Tang (Ginseng and Nutritive-Qi Tonifying Decoction)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (3 qian), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1.5 qian), Honey-fried Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (2 qian), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex) (5 fen), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, de-rooted) (1.5 qian), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, wine-fried) (2 qian), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (3 qian), Bai Fuling (Poria, peeled) (3 qian), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) (4 fen), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, heart removed) (8 fen), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (8 fen).
Decoct with fresh ginger and jujubes.
Twentieth, for men and women with Qi Deficiency, anhidrosis, and tidal fever:
Renshen Qingji San (Ginseng and Muscle-Clearing Powder)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (2 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Bai Fuling (Poria, peeled) (3 qian), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian), Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) (2 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (8 fen), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (2 qian), Gefen (Puerariae Flos / Pueraria starch) (2 qian), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (8 fen).
Decoct with fresh ginger and jujubes. Self-healing will occur after taking the medicine.
Twenty-first, for chronic deficiency with tidal fever, cough, bloody sputum, and night sweats:
Renshen Wuweisan (Ginseng and Schisandra Powder)
Prescription: Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (2 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (3 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Bai Fuling (Poria) (3 qian), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (3 qian), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) (8 fen), Digupi (Lycii Cortex) (3 qian), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (2 qian), Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) (2 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (8 fen), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) (4 fen), Zhiqiao (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) (1 qian), Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex) (3 qian), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (8 fen).
Decoct with fresh ginger and half a dried plum (Wumei). Add Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) 2 qian.
Twenty-second, for men and women with "five-center" heat (palms, soles, and chest), and bone-steaming deficiency fever:
Qinggu San (Bone-Clearing Powder)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (1 qian), Chi Fuling (Poria with red bran) (5 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (2 qian), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) (5 qian), Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) (2 qian), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (2 qian), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) (7 fen), Huhuanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma / Coptis chinensis var. microphylla) (5 fen).
Decoct one dose with water and take warm.
Twenty-third, for fever with dry mouth, dark and scanty urination, quietness at night, and fever during the day: The pathology is in the Qi level. Qingxin Lianzi Yin (Clear Heart and Lotus Seed Drink) is used. (Formula see Chibai Zhuo section)
Twenty-fourth, for men and women with dry hot muscles, red eyes and face, irritability, thirst with desire to drink, persisting day and night. The pulse is surging (Hong) yet deficient (Xu), and completely empty upon heavy pressure. The *Neijing* states: "Deficient pulse indicates Blood Deficiency; Excess pulse indicates Blood Excess." This is also called Blood Deficiency Fever. The symptoms resemble the Baihu Tang syndrome (Yangming Channel Heat). If Baihu Tang is mistakenly administered, death is certain. This condition arises from hunger and overwork. Danggui Buxue Tang (Danggui and Astragalus Decoction) is appropriate.
Prescription: Tender Huangqi (Astragali Radix, honey-water fried) (1 liang), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, wine-washed) (2 qian).
Decoct one dose with water and take warm.
Case: A patient with chronic deficiency fever and spontaneous sweating failed to respond to various drugs. After taking Danggui Buxue Tang, the fever subsided miraculously with one dose.
Twenty-fifth: Shen Dayin experienced intermittent fever. He drank several bowls of ice water daily and took two doses of cold-natured medicines, yet his heat and thirst worsened, and his body grew thinner daily. His Chi (Cun Cun) pulse was surging, rapid, yet sometimes weak. Wang Taipu said: "If heat cannot be warmed, blame the lack of Fire; if cold cannot be cooled, blame the lack of Water." He also said: "Heat coming and going suddenly indicates lack of Fire; heat appearing and disappearing intermittently indicates lack of Water." The treatment should tonify the Kidney using Jiabian Bawei Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill). He recovered within a month.
Twenty-sixth: A seventy-nine-year-old man suffered from headache, fever, vertigo, urgent asthma, phlegm obstruction, frequent urination, dry mouth with desire to drink, prickles covering the tongue that contracted like a lychee pit, black cracked lower lip, red face and eyes, irritability, insomnia, and occasional sensation of smoke/fire rising in the throat, relieved slightly by drinking cold water. He was near death. The pulse was surging, chaotic, yet forceful. His body felt burning to the touch. This was Empty Fire from the Kidney Meridian wandering externally. He was administered Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Substance Great Tonifying Decoction) plus Zhuyu (Corni Fructus), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) in one cup. After a long sleep, the pulse and symptoms decreased by three or four parts. He then took Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill), and all symptoms receded. He eventually recovered by avoiding cold substances.
Twenty-seventh: A scholar suffered from fever, dry mouth, frequent turbid urination, constipation, night sweats, and seminal emission, leading to neglect of sleep and food. He took Danggui Liu Huang Tang (Danggui and Six-Huang Decoction) for two doses, stopping night sweats immediately. He took Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill), regulating bowel and bladder movements. He then took Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Substance Great Tonifying Decoction) combined with the previous pill, recovering fully within a month.
Twenty-eighth: A man nearing forty suddenly developed tidal fever, dry mouth, and preference for cold water. A physician prescribed cooling medicines, which were ineffective after several doses. Four or five days later, he became heavy-bodied, immobile, with stiff limbs, deafness, delirious speech, closed eyes, and unconsciousness. The six pulses were floating, large, and weak. This indicated extreme deficiency of Qi, Blood, and the Spleen/Stomach. I modified Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Substance Great Tonifying Decoction) by removing Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) and Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), adding Shufuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix). After one dose, the patient slept, with rattling phlegm in mouth and nose. Others thought this was a mistake to use Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), and Renshen (Ginseng). I said: "This is the disease fighting the medicine; do not worry." I forced another dose. After one or two hours, he could move and turn. Over the next few days, continuous doses led to gradual recovery. This case demonstrates treating based on the pulse rather than symptoms.
Twenty-ninth: A patient with fever, irritability, thirst, and occasional headache took dispersing medicines, which aggravated asthma, abdominal pain, profuse sweating like rain, and nocturnal muttering. I reasoned this was damage to Original Qi from labor, caused by mistaken sweating. The abdomen must prefer pressure. Upon inquiry, this was confirmed. I gave Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Substance Great Tonifying Decoction) with 1 qian of Shufuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix). He slept deeply for a long time, alarming his family. Upon waking, symptoms improved drastically. Two more doses cured him. Generally, for irregular diet, overwork, and improper living habits, any apparent "Fire" symptoms belong to True Cold inside and False Heat outside. Thus, the abdomen prefers warmth, and the mouth fears cold. This is a Form-Qi disease where Qi and Blood are deficient, belonging to Insufficiency. The method should be purely tonifying Original Qi. This is the skillful approach.
Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill), Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Substance Great Tonifying Decoction) (both see Buyi section), Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) (also see Buyi section).
